Arcane: Why Pink with Glitter?

Arcane Missiles: Pink with golden Glitter;

Arcane Blast: Pink with pink Glitter;

Arcane Barrage: Pink and Blue with some Glitter on the caster;

Nether Tempest: Pink with golden Glitter;

why are arcane spells so pink and glittering? I have nothing against pink and glittering stuff, but these spells are used for killing animals and people alike, subjugating the opposition and mass murdering murlocs. except that they don't look like a threat at all. they look like party light effects lol

I think of Arcane as a very unstable and corrupting force. If you aren't skilled enough, it'll corrupt you. If you become drunk with power, it'll corrupt you. I see purple as the most unatural colour, and because Arcane is pure magic (And magic itself is unnatural) purple fits.

Just my 2 cents

“Far, far below the deepest delvings of the dwarves, the world is gnawed by nameless things.”

Because it is purple. Pink is low saturation red, but it does overlap a little with purple. Due to the high saturation of the color used for Arcane, it is purple. However, people with different gamma settings may see it as pink.

That's just the thing though, any bloodthirsty Orc can pick up a blade and start hacking away to vanquish their foes. Arcane Mages? They do it in style.
